Earlier this week at an awards ceremony in New York City, CMP Media (http://www.cmp.com/), a leading integrated media company, was honored with three Integrated Marketing Awards from Media Industry Newsletter's (min's). The second annual awards program honors consumer and B2B magazines in a wide range of categories and spotlights outstanding integrated marketing programs.

More than 100 programs entered the contest. CMP received the most awards of any business to business media company in the competition and outdistanced many consumer titles.

  CMP Media was honored with the following awards:

  --  Gold Award:  Customized Web Site/Microsite -- Mobilized Software (An
      industry-destination community site that provided an editorial bridge
      from technology developers, enterprise IT and Solution Providers to

      solutions.)

  --  Gold Award:  Multiple Magazine Title Program -- HP Worldwide SMB
      Integrated Marketing Program (The program reached HP customers and
      partners around the world to evangelize HP's SMB initiatives and
      products and included 22 publications in eight countries with six
      global microsites.)

  --  Honorable Mention:  Print/Online Bundle -- 2004 CMP BTO Excellence
      Awards (An industry awards program established Mercury Interactive as
      a category leader in business technology optimization.)

The winners were judged by a panel of distinguished agency executives, including Virginia Rowe of MindShare, Kevin McCarthy of OMD, Linda Thomas Brooks of General Motors MediaWorks, Debbie Solomon of MindShare and Robin Steinberg of MediaVest Print Services.
